---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"But Melos refuses to be defeated. As he recovers his strength, his commitment to repay his friend's trust, revives. He runs. He runs for the sake of his friend, for truth, for love. Even coughing up blood, still he runs.
"Just as the last light of day fades and Selinuntius is about to be killed, Melos runs onto the execution ground. He calls out to his friend, now released from his bonds, 'Hit me, Selinuntius!' Explaining that one moment along the way he had considered abandoning him.
"Selinuntius strikes Melos with all his might, and cries, 'Melrose, hit me!' confessing that he, too, for an instant had doubted Melos's return, Melos strikes him, and then the two embrace.
"The king says: 'You have subdued my heart. Trust between [people] is not just an empty illusion. I, too, would like to be your friend.'
"Trust wins out over distrust."
